Nothing resembles pride so much as discouragement.
To repel one's cross is to make it heavier.
To do what is impossible for talent is the mark of genius.

He who is silent is forgotten; he who does not advance falls back; he who stops is overwhelmed; out distanced, crushed; he who ceases t grow becomes smaller; he who leaves off, gives up; the condition of standing still is the beginning of the end.
